I have needed this

I am so happy to have found this. I cannot tell you how helpful it is to be watching these instructional videos. I have struggled to be consistent with meditation for 8 years. Now I feel like I have my own personal teacher in my pocket, and it will be much easier to stay consistent.

Good but not perfect

The app is very nicely designed and easy to use. The one thing it’s missing is a count-up timer with screen on option. So one could start the timer and quickly glance to see how many minutes one has been meditating. This feature is good for those that don’t like to be jarred out of meditation by a chime as soon as the twenty minutes is up. Then it would be perfect.

Connection with other students

While I enjoy the app for what it does offer - I don’t like that the Introduction Modules disappear after the initial lessons. Why take that away from us? Some of us are slower learners and would like to refresh ourselves on the very important information given about the technique. It’s easy, effortless, etc - so any proprietary details aren’t anything worthwhile of locking up. We pay for the classes to have a teacher, to get our specific mantra, and for access to the community and other courses. *Please consider leaving the intro modules up for those that may have stopped their practice and forgotten the tips and suggestions given in those beginner mods. **Once Bob Roth has given his daily meditation- it should be available for all as a download. Waiting for the replays sometimes is an inconvenience. (another weird aspect that I don’t understand) I get wanting people to meditate as a group to those, but for the sake of the few that just want to use his daily session as their practice- I think having it available 24/7 would be beneficial.
I thought the app would connect me with other students of TM. Having community around something like TM would be so beneficial for keeping the habit of twice a day consistent. ***Consider adding a social interaction section to the app for students to connect and build community around their practice. I understand not wanting us to instruct others on how to use the TM technique. However having specific Mods or only allowing Teachers to respond & help those individuals would alleviate this issue. Having a community note — that the social aspect isn’t for instructing other students could be beneficial as well.
***Add a speed playback option to the videos in the app. Some folks speak incredibly fast, and some not fast enough. For those of us with neurodivergent learning needs, adding this would make utilizing the Library more accessible.
These are some of the things I was expecting when I downloaded the app, and was hoping you would consider adding at some point. I enjoy the app for what it does offer and I use it twice a day for those reasons. (The timer, the library, the events)
Thank you for reading my suggestions.

The Complete TM App

TM Meditation Timer, Online Course to use while completing the standard Modules, Library, and Events. It’s the perfect complete resource to help with my TM journey.

Great resource

I have ADHD so having something that helps me schedule my TM is incredibly helpful. I haven’t missed a session since I started committing to the app. I also really appreciate the resources like the talks, the group meditations, the Gandharva Veda music, and the chanting for sidhas. It’s really helped me appreciate the tools I have been given.

Magical mystery tour

It’s a corny title but really does describe the journey that TM takes me on.
This app is quite extraordinary in that there seems to be an almost infinite amount of information to be found, with suggestions of what else
I have read three books the app recommended and all were excellent. It really helps to deepen the TM experience.
When I chose to learn this technique, one of the persuasions was the app, which some reviews and a bit of faith (as you don’t see it until you have done the course,) really does return its’ promise.

Love the TM App

I use the app as a launching pad into my own transcendent journeys as well as my main resource for connecting and reconnecting with why I began this in the first place. Tons of content to help you grow your understanding of the techniques. Five Stars!

Maharishi the great!

Very profound!
Just had a beautiful meditation session.

Excited

I just started using the app and am very excited about the possibilities of adding to my practice.

Perfect Companion to beginner practice

I love these group sessions thank you so much, Bob, for doing them!! I’m a beginner so welcome the chance to be softly prompted when it’s time to gently come out of meditation. I used the timer at first which is good but, I prefer not having to open my eyes periodically to glance at the timer.

I also really enjoy Bob’s stories at the beginning and poems or sayings at conclusion.

How is there no dark mode?

I’m not one of those “I need dark mode everywhere for everything” people. But how do you not provide a darker theme when users are using your app in the dark at 4/5AM? The bright white screen first thing in the morning is really not how I want to start my day. …yet I’ve been putting up with it for years now 👎🏼

Grateful

This app is the best. Simple easy & so beneficial. I love it 🌹

Meditation with the App

I am new to TM and the app. I appreciate having the opportunity to join a meditation group during the early morning and evening, especially when I may experience some resistance.
I am grateful.

Life-Changing

This app has quite literally changed my life. I log on to connect with thousands of others to practice TM with Bob of course & it just makes all the difference to meditate together. Thanks!

Simple and effortless

Such an effortless practice with a gentle timer to aid

Back to the Basics

After using various apps over the years to encourage my meditation habit, a return to the simplicity and authenticity of TM, into which I was initiated decades ago, was like coming home to myself. I am looking forward to exploring other parts of the app with others. I have more to explore.

Awesome

I love the daily tracking and alerts I set for after the 20 minute + Come out. Plus, there is great content to watch and listen to in the library section. I use it a couple times each day so the monthly price is worth it to me.

The perfect companion

A return beginner to TM. This app resource is the life changer for you if you gave up years ago out of aloneness or location challenges to a TM center. Welcome back.

TM app

All good.
